Designing Mashauri
A: We took the idea of a start-up accelerator and designed an online version.
B: We looked at best practices in new venture development and codified it using processes, tools and templates.
C: We examined university education of entrepreneurs, flipped the classroom, added in some gamification and developed an entrepreneurial course.
A + B + C = Mashauri.
